thistle3585,
Thanks for the note on the auction. The last one of his I went to was to witness the purchase of a 29' Fern for $29,000, of course there was the added buyers fee, etc. I did end up buying a nice early flat Brazilian rosewood and spruce mando for only $150.00. I guess everybody was too awed by the Fern. I recognized a lot of heavyweights at the auction and knew I was out of my league on the big buck stuff. It was still fun to play hooky that morning from work to attend.

Yeah, what can I say. You see a couple vintage instruments and you ignore all else in the haze of MAS. Sorry to get your hopes up.
